The '''unicorn comma''' ([[ratio]]: 1594323/1562500, {{monzo|legend=1| -2 13 -8 }}), is a [[medium comma|medium]] [[5-limit]] [[comma]] measuring about 34.9 [[cent]]s. Named by [[Paul Erlich]] in 2002, it is the amount by which five [[10/9|minor whole tones (10/9)]] fall short of three [[6/5|classic minor thirds (6/5)]]. | |||
It factors into simpler commas as (81/80)⋅(78732/78125), a [[syntonic comma]] and a [[sensipent comma]]. | |||
